There was a cliche that'll many coaches (including JC) used to throw around a lot: "imposing your will on the opponent".

This is something that we've allowed far too often in all of our conference games to date, including our wins.

We let them push us around.  All too often we let them dictate the pace.  When they press us 3/4 court or full court we never have an answer that could punish them for doing this and we often don't have an answer to cleanly get the ball past midcourt and effectively run our offense.

We've had moments in each of our losses (and in a couple of our wins) where we were in position (mostly in the first half but a couple of times in the second) to put the game well out of reach and destroy any hope the opponent had of competing with us and each time allowed them to fight their way back in the game.  We don't have the will (or the stomach) to step on their throats when the opportunity is there.

This team needs more heart, more grit, more courage and a bit of a killer's mentality.
